Lean-GAP: A Dataset of Formalized Graduate Algebra ProblemsSeewoo Lee, Byung-Hak Hwang, Hyojae Lim et al.
We present Lean-GAP (Lean-Graduate Agebra Problems), 430 formalized graduate-level algebra problems from the textbook Abstract Algebra by Dummit and Foote. We develop a scalable pipeline consisting of PDF-to-LaTeX preprocessing, autoformalization into Lean 4, and verification of informal-formal correspondence. While the preprocessing and autoformalization stages can be largely automated, we find that verification remains the most subtle and labor-intensive component, requiring careful human oversight. Our contributions include (i) the construction of a structured dataset of formalized exercises, (ii) a systematic methodology for formalizing textbook mathematics, and (iii) an analysis of recurring challenges in the formalization process. We also compare the performance of different autoformalization models and highlight key bottlenecks in translating informal statements into formal language.

Provable wavelet-based neural approximationYoungmi Hur, Hyojae Lim, Mikyoung Lim
In this paper, we develop a wavelet-based theoretical framework for analyzing the universal approximation capabilities of neural networks over a wide range of activation functions. Leveraging wavelet frame theory on the spaces of homogeneous type, we derive sufficient conditions on activation functions to ensure that the associated neural network approximates any functions in the given space, along with an error estimate. These sufficient conditions accommodate a variety of smooth activation functions, including those that exhibit oscillatory behavior. Furthermore, by considering the $L^2$-distance between smooth and non-smooth activation functions, we establish a generalized approximation result that is applicable to non-smooth activations, with the error explicitly controlled by this distance. This provides increased flexibility in the design of network architectures.

Simplifying Formal Proof-Generating Models with ChatGPT and Basic Searching TechniquesSangjun Han, Taeil Hur, Youngmi Hur et al.
The challenge of formal proof generation has a rich history, but with modern techniques, we may finally be at the stage of making actual progress in real-life mathematical problems. This paper explores the integration of ChatGPT and basic searching techniques to simplify generating formal proofs, with a particular focus on the miniF2F dataset. We demonstrate how combining a large language model like ChatGPT with a formal language such as Lean, which has the added advantage of being verifiable, enhances the efficiency and accessibility of formal proof generation. Despite its simplicity, our best-performing Lean-based model surpasses all known benchmarks with a 31.15% pass rate. We extend our experiments to include other datasets and employ alternative language models, showcasing our models' comparable performance in diverse settings and allowing for a more nuanced analysis of our results. Our findings offer insights into AI-assisted formal proof generation, suggesting a promising direction for future research in formal mathematical proof.
